Ames Lager

[06_CY]

Do we know when the next round of distribution will be?
Will we have to wait ~6 weeks for the new tanks West O installed, or will it be sooner?

Tomorrow. Places in the metro getting more tomorrow.

Newton Hy-Vee still has some.

 

[wheels686]

Grinnell Hy-Vee hasn't gotten any yet

Out of all the new ISU beers, which one is actually raising money for ISU athletes? All of them?

What do these maps mean? Places that have it or are willing to sell it?

Because I've been in some of the stores on this map and they didn't have the product the map indicates.

I would guess selling it. Available stock is not likely to be available via anything ISU or google has. I would also be skeptical of any on-line inventory information that even the retailer’s own website might have for a high demand product like Ames Lager.

I think that's just the map that guy put together based on twitter posts of people finding it at certain stores. I don't think he's updating it when they sell out, so it's probably just a map of stores that have had it at some point.. Nice thought, but not all that helpful IMO.

Only Ames Lager goes to help Iowa State student athletes through We Will. The others have different missions. But please let your friends know that Ames Lager is the one serving that purpose.

I know Urbandale HyVee has had it and sold out, but they're not listed on the map.

Live look at the Busch light distributor........

It's really great to take the weirdness of ISU fans doing huge amounts of free marketing work for Busch Light and harness it in a productive way that isn't just making money for some non-Iowa company that has nothing to do with ISU. Even beyond We Will it's just great that it's an Iowa brewery too.

I feel like you should just wear a button that says this given how many times you've been forced to clarify this by people who weren't able to figure it out.

How cool would it be if one of the maps that shows "most popular beer per state" would show Ames Lager?

So basically a map of liquor stores in Iowa. Got it!

I logged in just to ask this question. What gives with Southern Iowa... Still a lot of ISU fans south of I-80.

I looked at our Hy-Vee on Sunday. Nothing. BUT there was a Huge amount of Swarm beer and it was already on sale. Lol

My Hawkeye friends don't actually enjoy Swarm... They drink it to support Iowa, but don't go out of their way to get it.

We'll see if Ames Lager has a better run, because I have a feeling it will have more staying power than Swarm based on the fact that A TON of Iowa's fan base is in Illinois, where you can't go to the store and buy Swarm.. On the other hand, more of ISU's fanbase is in the state and our collective is run by a far more vocal and local figure
